    Smoking "Whoops"!!!

    Never done this one before... My wife needed a secod oven so I used my rectec. Set it to 350 and it worked great. Then I did 2 racks of ribs today and (thought) I reset it to 230 - whoops, 330. An hour later I checked the probes to find the ribs were at 207. So do I throw it out??? No, I'm a...

    Not Enough

    So different. I brought them to 201 and they were stiff. I coated then with another mop and they dropped to 190IT. Brought them back up and still not done. I repeated this 3 times before the skewer test passed. That took another 90 min at 275. SO, definitely not done at temp. They are only done...

    Not Enough

    Today I did Beef ribs for the first time. Only problem is I should have doubled or tripled the ribs ( but I AM full). Absolutely no need for a knife. Ribs, Rub and a mop sause of my wife's design. Applewood smoked to 160 at GT of 220 and then into the oven at 275 until a bamboo skewer...

    Bacon raped Lollipops

    Yes, I've never liked the rubbery skin on smoked chicken where as the bacon is great. Oh, by the way, I used thin cut bacon. And you don't need any toothpicks as the mustard glues the bacon to the drumb.

    Bacon raped Lollipops

    Sorry, I didn't actually remove the tendons, (that'd be a good truck) I trimming the ends that stuck out once I'd pushed the meat up.

    Yea, I know but if you're going to correct my typing then you missed a couple... Coatedthem could use a space and "This is do differently..." Should have been This I'd do differently.

    Bacon raped Lollipops

    I'll be darned if I can find the thread on this... Admin, if you want to move it, go ahead. Anyway... Best Damn drums I or my wife have ever had! The idea came from a Tulsajeff newsletter. He gave it a 20min prep time but it took me close to 60 - but it was way worth it. I skinned the drums...

    Bacon ~ Foamheart

    Foamheart... Well, you went and did it, got me started - inspired. I Picked up a bag of Motrin Tender quick today. Next I'm off to Costco for pork belly. I've got plenty of apple dust and pellets. My goal here is to come up with some apple maple(syrup) bacon that I personally enjoy more than the...

    More cheese

    OMG! More cheese... My wife discovered that she loved smoked Blue cheese. She picked up two more blocks and asked me to smoke them. She also LOVED the Velveeta. Another brick of that is going to be included. If I'm going to do another batch I'm going to make sure it'll be my last for the...

    More Cheese

    OK, that's some really good looking cheese, and the quantity is scarry! (We ate each and every block that we smoked from our last batch. I'm now hiding it in my shop so we don't get into it.) So easy and Oh So Good! Thanks for sharing.

    More cheese

    The only Mars cheese castle I've seen was at the Wisconsin Illinois border. If that's your reference then, sadly no. Northern Wisconsin has many SPECIALITY cheese manufacturers that have low prices and have spectacular Cheese factories (Just my opinion). Then go up to the Upper Peninsula of...

    Bacon ~ Foamheart

    So I. Saw another post of yours with the ingredient list but nothing on time. How long did you leave it in the wet brine?

    Bacon ~ Foamheart

    I've never tried my own bacon (being so new to smok'in). BUT I see it on my horizon - and soon. Time to find this "Pop Fassett's brine cure".

    More cheese

    We were on a ride the other day and went past the DuPont cheese factory (a small town favorite here in N Wisc). Picked up some fresh Colby and some Gouda. Then I spotted a must try, sharp cheddar and Nuskies bacon. Nuskies is a specialty smoke shop which makes some awesome maple and apple smoked...

    Rec Tec or BGE?

    PS, asked about winter cover for Stampede and they've talked about it but still nothing in the works.

    Rec Tec or BGE?

    You got me thinking about doing the same so I emailed RecTec and just got a reply back... "So the grill is meant to breathe, adding things like seals to the lid can create a lot of pressure in the barrel and you could see smoking from your hopper and in the worst case, a burn back. Some people...

    Rec Tec or BGE?

    I'm sure you'll love it! Did you get the Grillgrates for searing? Another accessory I love is a silicone cooking mat. Works great for small things - veggies, pig shots, cheese... Amazin' has one that covers the whole grill surface on my Stampede. I also use the Amazin' tray for cold smoking...
